It's Getting Better! Some Positive Update on Building our Home #lifewiththewanjalaz @TheWanjalaz
Просмотров 78721 час назад
We were at our lowest point last week. Building a house without savings has been a real emotional and psychological rollercoaster. The circus never stops: from feeling nervous to regretting decisions to enjoying victories to feeling afraid and uncertain. In this episode, we share some positive update on the roofing status and reflect on the overwhelming emotional support we received from you al...
Was it Wise to Start Building our Home Now?Regret #lifewiththewanjalaz #buildinginkenya @TheWanjalaz

To be quite frank, there are times when we think back on our choice to build a house and our hearts skip a beat. We chose to build without taking out a loan, saving up large sums of money, or having a steady source of income (a salary). Was it too risky? Was it a wise thing to do? We travel down that reflection in this episode as this weight weighs more heavily on our minds. #buildingourownhome...
We Regret!! Mistakes Made on Our House Construction So Far || #buildinginkenya @TheWanjalaz

Perfection is a fantasy! There's always that 1% chance that some things will be elusive even with experts. As first-time home builders or what we call beginners, we have so far not been without errors, albeit, not fatal. This video highlights some of the mistakes that occurred, which we now wish could have been done differently. But guess what? We're now well-informed and better prepared for th...

Sharing our journey to becoming first-time home owners in Kenya. Is it really possible to build a house without a fixed salary, loan or savings? Why are we taking too long to roof?

It is never too late or too early to pursue your dreams. W...

      @DJ-SEBBOO , The synthetic roofing tiles is made from synthetic hard plastic. There are 3 layers. The first layer is synthetic material, the 2nd layer is chalk, and the 3rd layer is synthetic material. The chalk helps with heat reduction and is fire resistant. Chalk keeps the room cool compared to iron sheets. Rain water harvested is safe for both human and cattle consumption, unlike Decra roofing tiles.

    The design of your current apartment is very common in Rongai, only that the best iterations have the bedrooms on opposite corners rather than adjaccent to each other. That's the best execution of that floorplan, since the kitchen is long enough to accomodate everything in one line and the circulation is good. Also there's an app called Floorplan Creator for Android that allows you to draw things to scale and customise. I have a house that I've been perfecting for 10 years on that app.

    The Wanjalaz, that was your plan to start building in June, but think about this; perhaps God’s planing was different from yours. Interesting enough, when I carefully examine your house… it looks very strong and stable structurally. The workmanship meets some objective standards. Then it doesn’t compel serious interrogation of how a stone was lifted and placed on the motor but mostly the end result. Flat roofs are not viable for the temperatures in the western Kenya and eventually they tend to leak. You will be in a more complex scenario. Hidden roofs tend to leak like outside. Unless you overhauled the entire wall plate to the lintel and redesign the hidden gutters and roof. Surprisingly the costs tend to go much higher because you would be required shutters external lintel all round the house and pour a subsidiary slab as a basis for your hidden guttering while providing leaning points for your hidden roof. Just follow the trajectory you set forth. Remember NO BODY regrets for their accomplishments or steps a head… remember as little children we would yeal “forward ever, backwards never”. Now just to correct you, Engineers operate mostly on structurally binding structures/buildings. From the flow of your language you sound like persons who are well round and educated and I take that we are reading on the same text. A functional engineer would demand the review of your foundation, the iron rods used in the foundation, texture of your concrete and perhaps you would be forced to demolish off some parts and redo them…. Not because your house is weak but taking responsibility in engaging protocol issues.

    The Wanjalaz! Please take heart. Pole pole tu. If l share my story, you will laugh & cry with me at the same time. Ooh, Nyumba yangu ilikua kubwa sana. Corridor pekee yake ilikua kiwanja ya rugby. I cried mpaka nikachoka. Then, l decided to sell it immediately. Now, l know BETTER! What's your next step?

      Lyn 😂. You mean you even got to sell it 😅?. We can only imagine the pressure... We're hanging in there still. Quitting is no option of course...the next steps are to just keep gathering resources and continue as they come on this journey.

      @@TheWanjalaz My dearest family, Mine was a disaster! From the word go.... I wish l had listened to my husband when he told me, we stop & organize everything. But ilishapita. When we were measuring the ground, measurement ilitoka kwa compound. Yani😅🤣 1. We had no idea if the Articheture had visited the site or not. 2. Nyumba ilitoka kama mkate.. Eeeh, wacha tu. 3. Roofing ilikua na maholes. Yani, go outside at night then both of you look up at the sky, then you will understand what l mean. Nilijiita meeting without my husband knowing. Ile aibu nilikua nayo. Wacha tu. I had to sell it. The giver of breath finally answered my prayers & l sold it. Nilirudisha pesa yetu & some kidogo profit. The Wanjalaz, Continue holding each other's hand. Kama nibaya.. This is the time to renovate before putting grills and roofing. If both of you want, angusha some side & reconstruct but you must have a good designer. I think, flat root inawezekana. This is the time, Both of you shikaneni mkono & do your due diligence. 1. Be open minded. 2. Open kitchen & dining 3. Kama nikuvunja some parts & reconstruct.( Remember the stones can still be used) Yangu ilikua disaster.

      @@lynlassiter5033 WOW Lyn! This was such an experience 🤣😄. It emphasizes the importance of due diligence and doing some homework. This is indeed the time to arrest mistakes before they ruin everything and become a costly mess!! We're on the same page on that. Henceforth, we don't want to sleep on this project. We're willing to wait longer if we must to get quality. Let the roofing engineer come to give a quote then tutadiscuss the pros and cons of a flat/hidden roof the see the best way out. Meanwhile we're really in sync as a couple. This is going to be our first matrimonial home and we're both committed to the process. We did this video during one of those moments when you question your sanity 😂😂 when the project seems to not be working out 😔😔. But we have Faith 🙏🏽🙏🏽.

    Don't despair, as this is how most people start building. Remember, there's never a perfect time to have all the money. Begin where you can, take a moment to rest and reflect on areas to improve in the next stage. We all learn every day, and many people are first-time builders unless you're a seasoned contractor. One of the regrets is not being around and trusting my fundis to use interlocking blocks who had already told me they knew ,😅😅😅,weeeeh so they used cement like the normal bricks the rest is history i fired the fundis ....

    Welcome all. To be quite frank, there are times when we think back on our choice to build a house and our hearts skip a beat. We chose to build without taking out a loan, saving up large sums of money, or having a steady source of income (a salary). Was it too risky? Was it a wise thing to do? We travel down that reflection in this episode as this weight weighs more heavily on our minds.
